We have returned to the worthless debate on the ownership of guns…..the same debate we have with every attack and/or massacre…….the same waste of time ….time after time (not a Cindy Lauper song)…..
Of course I will be labelled whatever the mental midget class call people the disagree with them…apologist, bleeding heart, liberal, or my favorite, political correct.
So before the inevitable stupidity starts let me say my views right now….
I am against the ownership of assault weapons…..they are not needed for protection if so then the idiot holding it is a terrible shot then I suggest a shotgun…..they are not used for hunting….and if someone just gets off on shooting them then join the Army they will let these idiots play with them as much as they like.
There even those that agree with me……
Nate Bethea served as an infantry officer in the US Army from 2007 to 2014, and during that time, he fired thousands of rounds from assault rifles. “These weapons are intended for the battlefield. I don’t want an assault rifle, because I don’t want to think of my home country as a battlefield,” he writes in the New York Times. “I don’t want civilians to own assault rifles, because I think the risks outweigh the rewards. If people really do believe that they need them, maybe it’s because they see a battlefield where others don’t.” He notes that he’s seen the effects the weapons have, and he doesn’t want to think the US is such a dangerous place that we need such weapons.
He quotes a friend, an Army Special Forces officer with multiple combat deployments: “People who say they need an AR for hunting or home defense often don’t understand the weapon’s ballistics or overpenetration. ARs cause horrific damage to humans; that’s why the military developed them. If you want to shoot an AR so bad, please feel free to join the fight against ISIS in the military.” And, Bethea begs, please don’t get hung up on the semantics. Yes, there are slight differences between assault weapons used by the military and the types of assault rifles civilians can buy, but the truth is, a civilian would be able to buy basically the same rifle Bethea carried in Afghanistan, and the same accessories, with little difficulty—and that’s not right.

Well said and sound advice…..

No,silly…..
The E.U. referendum…..
We need to take a ‘giant’ stride….as in man’s possible evolution…
The word giant was derived from the gigantes (Greek: γίγαντες[1]) of Greek mythology.
In various Indo-European mythologies, gigantic peoples are featured as primeval creatures associated with chaos and the wild nature……
Otherwise we are gonna be ruled by Klepto’craps’…..
Still,latest news from Italy is good…
Goliath, (that’s me) Old Testament
The Book of Enoch describes giants as the offspring of fallen angels and mortal women.

You are welcome….
The problem is that if the demographic continued to change rapidly and the country tends to become more divided and ungovernable then the possibility exists that the country might well be a battle field someday and it would be advisable for people to be prepared. I think one would have to admit that even though an AR15 or an AK47 is not designed for self defense it does one helluva job of stopping the attacker …. can you admit to that much? It might not do much for interior decor but it does a helluva good job of deactivating the threat …. can you agree with that much?
If one needs that to stop an attacker then I reiterate…buy a shotgun…
Or a grenade — right?
Please don;t give the crazies any ideas….huh?
There’s NO point in owning an AR-15 unless you also own a survival bunker in the middle of nowhere. In the battlefield that America will inevitably become some day, one person with an AR-15 is like a squirrel on the freeway.
O.K., then … how about 350-Million Americans with an AR-15? What then?
They will almost certainly shoot each other with those guns, especially once shit starts hitting the societal fan. (Which was your premise.) The public is primed, armed & ready for The Collapse to begin. All it needs is the right “nudge”.
Think: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street ….only with 350 million AR-15s with 500 round clips.
Actually, now that I think of it, the little known 2003 Twilight Zone remake “The Monsters Are on Maple Street” may be more applicable.
